Values and ethics code

Parks Canada achieves its Mandate and Vision through the active participation of its team members, stakeholders, partners and the support of Canadians. Parks Canada is successful when we work collaboratively both within and outside Parks Canada developing and maintaining trustworthy and fruitful relationships. This collaboration stems from the way team members live and apply the Core Values of respect, engagement, excellence and integrity.

The Parks Canada Mandate, Vision and Core Values are the cornerstones of our organization and its unique character. As a solid framework for Parks Canada team member actions, Core Values and Ethics guide us in our day-to-day responsibilities and in how we work together to fulfill our Mandate and Vision. The Core Values are the foundation of Parks Canada’s Values and Ethics Code (the Code).

Parks Canada team members have a fundamental role to play in serving Canadians, their communities and the public interest under the direction of the elected government and in accordance with the law.
